The front porch requirement seems arbitrary. This overall approach should never be used for “urban infill” in existing neighborhoods because it undermines the incentives for maintaining lower density homes near urban centers.

I like it, who cares if a casita is fully separated or not?

I would like to see the minimum size for cottage development reduced. At two acres, this development type is only feasibly in new developments and/or on large tracts in rural areas. The development type is appropriate for urban infill and has precedent in the bungalow courts found throughout the west. We have an example of this form near Menaul and Broadway. Limits could be placed (4-5 units) depending for smaller lots, but due to open space and setback requirements, this would typically be self limiting. This form could also be limited to single story on smaller lots if deemed to intense.

As Councilor Benton has told me more than once; you can't legislate good design.

Architectural design guidelines don't belong in the zoning code.
